8-K Financial Filing Analysis for FOX (2026-10-14)
Fox Corporation is acquiring Roku in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $22 billion, or $160 per share, announced in June. The transaction, approved by both boards and overwhelmingly by Class B stockholders at an October 14, 2026 Special Meeting, is set to close in the first half of 2027 pending regulatory approvals. Combining Fox's sports, news, and entertainment assets (including Tubi) with Roku's dominant CTV platform and ad technology, the deal creates a full-stack media and technology platform. Post-acquisition, The Roku Channel and Tubi are projected to capture 4.8% of U.S. TV viewership, tying Disney and surpassing Skydance (3.7%). Roku, present in over half of U.S. broadband households, will become a wholly owned Fox subsidiary, with CEO Anthony Wood joining Fox's Board. Existing Fox shareholders will own ~73% of the combined company.
8-K Financial Filing Analysis for Roku (2026-10-15)
On October 14, 2026, Roku, Inc. held a special meeting of stockholders where shareholders formally approved the proposed merger with Fox Corporation. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger originally entered into on June 14, 2026, Roku will be acquired and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Corporation through a two-step merger structure. The merger proposal was approved by an overwhelming majority, securing 241,044,988 votes in favor, representing approximately 81.5% of total outstanding voting power. In addition, stockholders passed the non-binding advisory proposal regarding executive merger-related compensation, while an adjournment proposal was rendered moot given the definitive shareholder clearance. This vote clears a major milestone toward closing the transaction, pending remaining customary regulatory approvals.

Shareholders of Roku Inc. and Fox Corporation have approved the proposed acquisition of Roku by Fox, a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $22 billion in enterprise value. Votes were cast at virtual special meetings, with Roku stockholders approving the merger agreement and Fox Class B shareholders approving the issuance of about 144 million Fox Class A shares as consideration. Each Roku share will be exchanged for $96 in cash and 0.9693 Fox Class A shares. Fox stockholders are expected to own about 73% of the combined company, with former Roku stockholders holding the rest. The deal combines Fox's content and Tubi's ad-supported streaming with Roku's platform reaching over 100 million households, targeting $400 million in annual cost synergies. The transaction still awaits regulatory approvals, including a DOJ second request, with completion targeted for the first half of 2027.
